Annual Alliance

The CDC Foundation’s Annual Alliance is a network of businesses and organizations that sign-on to support the Foundation’s work of building strategic partnerships that help CDC protect our nation against expensive and dangerous health threats. Members of the Annual Alliance play a role in – and are recognized for – protecting America’s health and safety.

Gifts to the Annual Alliance of $2,500, $5,000, $10,000 or more help CDC expand proven programs, amplify important health messages, discover new health solutions and respond to emergencies with speed and flexibility.  The Foundation provides opportunities for Alliance Alliance members to interface with CDC leaders and other business leaders with an interest in supporting public health programs and progress.
